It’s been what, 8 months after I left Twitter?

Yep, I think so.

So hello everyone, my fellow readers, whom I clearly have no idea why you follow my dormant blog. But hey, I really thank you deeply for that! I really appreciated your likes, your comment, and your subscription. I hope my writing can, I don’t know, inspire. Entertained?

Anyway, just a quick little update about myself. I’m currently doing ‘frugal digital living,’ which means I don’t do social media anymore because I think it’s one of the main reasons why I totally SUCKS at ‘healing’ myself. That’s a whole different story, if you want to know.

But honestly, I’ve never been better!

Got promoted into head position, currently working on three jobs and getting FATTER because of the stress eating, running of TWO international tournament at the same time, can’t resign from my side job, planning to work and live in Singapore, but totally content and have my life under control.

Well, most of it. But I still think it’s a win!

For the past 8 months, I mainly use my time for working and playing games and whatnot. Been passively building my personal branding on LinkedIn, which hopefully will help other people kickstart their journey in the creative world, especially in the writing department.

But for quite some time, I’ve been struggling withwith how to release my endless emotions and ideas in my head. I usually yapping non-stop on Twitter, but since I can’t do that, I usually do it on Quora for a couple ofthe first the first months of my ‘digital fasting’. BUT since Quora became a trash can, I got confused.

But I think I’ve found the answer: it’s the combination of my notebook and this very blog!

So for the last couple of days, I’ve been writing my heart out, releasing and expressing my emotion on my head on my notebook. One emotion and one topic per one paper, and turns out I can really do it. Well, it’s too soon to tell actually since I’m SO CONSISTENT with my inconsistency. But I really loved it!

Right now I have 7 and a half paper, and I think it’s interesting to share my personal writing with my followers here. It’s not a random writing, it’s more of a personal question to myself. A reminder, a cautionary notes, or an insight for something that’ll probably relate with you. I don’t know, I just want to write what I feel and hopefully, you’ll feel it too.

So yeah, please do expect me writing and yapping about things that are tangled, stabbed, itched and disorganized in my brain. I’ll write in English because I clearly see this as a chance to improve my English writing, but only for this segment.

Wait, I think I should name this segment.

Hmm. I’m thinking some name with edgy, cool, and very ultra poetic. But honestly, my brain is too tired right now. So I’ll just call this segment as ‘Ben Think Tank’

Yeah. I think that’s the official name.

Okay then, gotta go. Ciao Bella and see you again, my friends!
